"Best for Wilderness Adventures: The only way to reach super-secluded Lake Clark is by flying in by a bush plane or float plane. Flanked by snowcapped peaks, thick boreal forest, and whitewater rivers, the 42-mile-long lake is quintessential Alaska. Fishing, kayaking, and wildlife-watching are the main aquatic activities, while the lakeshore lends itself to weeklong hikes and backwoods camping. Tiny Port Alsworth offers a visitor center, kayak rentals, guide services, outfitters, a post office, and lodging." - Travel + Leisure Editors
